ArcadeSD theme

[billver]

Ok, was able to extract the file using 7zip instead of winrar.
Unfortunately same problem. The snaps are not centered and are on the top of the screen.
Anyone have any idea what the problem could be??

I have the latest version of this theme on my Pi3. I'm using the horizontal layout. When scrolling through the games, the vertical games are stretched to horizontal. Is there a way for the theme to show both horizontal and vertical games in their correct aspect ratio?

yaa just add this

local carrier = Carrier( -153, 120, 1025, 250, 3, 3, 30, 0, 0 )
carrier.set_keep_aspect()

does not change the size of the color border though..........just the snap

Where does one find this carrier.nut file?

[progets]

In the "scripts" subdirectory of the layout.

FWIW all my links here that use the "AHA-FORUMS" link are no longer working (my last host actually passed away due to Covid some time ago)..

Simpyl remove aha-forums.com and replace with idahogaragecade.com and you'll be golden.

The link for this theme is now:

I really like this theme for my MAME vertical setup (it's one of my two finalists to use full time) where I've got 80 favorites running on an older I7 PC.

Unfortunately I've run into a problem where this theme seems to have a coding issue and slowly starts to consume CPU resources.  Once it hits about 15% CPU utilization in Task Manager, something happens to force it back to normal (which is around 5%), but then it kills the FPS down to 30 FPS where you then begin to notice lag in the starfield and game videos.  The CPU usage issue will then repeat the entire process, and each subsequent reset drops the FPS another couple of frames.  Ultimately it bottoms out around 12 FPS after only running for around 10 minutes which makes it unusable.

I've tried the following in an attempt to resolve the issue with no success -

• Disabled the starfield effect
• Removed all videos from the media folder so that only images would be used for the game previews
• Turned off the Sequencer plugin (which I thought was the root cause - but even if AM is just sitting on a single game using this theme, it'll eventually drop frames)

Any ideas as to what may be causing the issue?  Thanks for any replies in advance.....
